Syncing iTunes with Apple TV

Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes on my computer, therefore cannot sync. Tried restarting my computer and the Apple TV. Still doesn't show up?

That used to happen to me a lot. For me, it was the fact that my Apple TV was kicked off the network at some point (often). The way I fixed it was to go check my network on the Apple TV, make sure it was connected, then check the libraries on the Apple TV and make sure my iMac iTunes library was listed (and not grayed out). If it was gray, I had to delete that library from the Apple TV and add it again (time sink but it worked). Then I would add the new Apple TV to my iMac iTunes library and all was well. But that was my experience. I hope this helps.
You are having the same problem as I am to the letter. When the issue occurs, I can sync new content usually but un-synced content refuses to stream. The library link is always grayed out until I re-link the library. When I do it works, until something reboots or the Apple TV sits too long.

How do I sync itunes with apple tv 2nd generation?

I see all this information for syncing apple tv with itunes library for 1st generation. Please tell me you can do it for the 2nd generation. Home sharing is great, except it's stupid to have keep my laptop out and running in order to use it.

Correct.

Sync iTunes with Apple TV by keeping movies on Apple TV hard disk?

I have a 144 Gb AppleTV that I sync with my iTunes, I was wondering if their was a way to keep all bought/rented movies and TV shows on Apple TV without having them on the computer hd too? I tried syncing my photos the other day and kept on copying the movies to my computer even with the setting made not to sync movies and tv shows! any solutions?

This is never a good idea. You should always have a backup. If anything happens to the ATV you will be out of luck.

When syncing iTunes with Apple TV (1st gen) some songs and movies will not sync..

I get the message that these songs and movies are not authorized to play on this computer. The computer is authorized and the songs and movies will play on the computer but will not sync to Apple TV
Any advice is aproeciated.

Thanks for the reply WC
Yes they do.
They origialnally played just fine. I moved my entire iTunes library to a new computer and now only 62 songs, out of over 2000, and two of four movies won't sync. All songs and movies are in same folders and same format.
I already selected "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
using iTunes 10.7 and OSX 10.8.2

How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone 5 to pc???

1)   How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone, 5c, 7.1.2., to pc?
2)   How to delete photos from iphone (when I pick a pic there's no option to delete from trash icon)?
3)   How do I get the app (VS) VarageSale back on my phone screen? It is only listed in settings > notifications.
4) Or how do I delete the VS from settings, so I can reinstall?
NOTE: I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store. I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

Aperture 3.03 sync issue with Apple TV

Hi to all,
I would like to ask you for a help in the following issue:
When I sync Aperture with Apple TV I then see that only masters were transferred. When I make some photo adjustments (without creating a version from master) they are not visible on the Apple tv. I can only see a master photo without any adjustments.
How can I transfer a photo with adjustments made on it? Do I have to create a Version from master and then sync only that version with all adjustment made on it?

Related question from me.
I've got my Aperture library on an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme. Now version 3.0.3 of Aperture opens beautifully and reads my library, but when I try to sync my photos with my Apple TV then iTunes doesn't recognise any photos in my library, although it does recognise the projects and albums . :-s
Any ideas? Looking like a bug to me at the moment...
Kevin

Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc) via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.
Regards.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Syncing ITunes with My documents music folder....?

Was just wondering if its possible to sync ITune with the music folder on my computer as it gets annoying having to add new music manually, especially as Windows media player does this automatically without causing duplicates...

iTunes doesn't do folder monitoring.
One possible workaround is to look at 3rd party solutions such as iTunes Library Updater:

Article about automating updater

iTsync, a non free commercial program is another possibility although I don't have any experience of either myself.

HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

Yes that's perfectly possible.
The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.

You don’t sync iTunes with iCloud.

Syncing photos in iTunes with Apple TV and iPod Classic

Hi:
I recently purchased an Apple TV and every since I got it when I sync my iPod Classic and the Apple TV with iTunes, iTunes optimizes all my photos again (3000+ photos). In other words, every time I sync, iTunes optimizes my photos, deletes them and re-adds them again to the iPod and the Apple TV. Any idea why it may be doing this? I mean it’s ok, it’s just time consuming every time I do a sync. This never happened before unless I will add new photos and in that case iTunes will optimize and add just the new ones not all of them.
Thanks for any advise you may have.
Manolo.

Anyone has any idea? Would this be related to the new iTunes update?
Thanks,
Manolo.

How do I sync ipad with Apple TV since updating software

Correct.

Syncing issues with Apple TV

Is anyone else having syncing issues with their Apple TV? I am trying to sync movies up that I just bought (StarTrek HD, IronMan HD) and the sync sits there with the progress bar moving all the way to the end but never actually finishes. Just sits there for hours! I don't know if it is because of the iTunes Extras or not, but it is getting very annoying.
I have read a lot of bad reviews of the Apple TV 3.0.1 update and I have to say, the my Apple TV is very sluggish and hangs a lot with this new revision. I am sure that is part of my issues syncing. All of this is sad because the product has such potential. To me, it is like an iPod for your TV.
I believe with this slow response times and issues Apply may be working on a hardware update to the device which is long overdue. Maybe the new software requires a faster processor and/or more memory which will be answered in the new hardware (one can only hope). We are just beta testing the new software. Apple: Listen to the people, we want bigger hard drive (500GB+) and reliability! We want it to run as smooth as an iPod. The moment you update the hardware, everyone with Apple TVs will buy a new one!

Yes I have the same problem,, and it was with 2.4 version, I upgraded to 3.0.1 and still the status bar progresses all the way to end and just hangs there,,, BS is what it is,, If this is not fixed or goes unanswered I am just going to take my Apple TV back as I just purchased it yesterday. 12/17/09
